The next two days (for me, 4 days for the RMLL) where the real "RMLL"
(Libre software Meeting)
This part was organised in the Strasbourg university, on a large hall,
many conferences taking place in the university rooms.
Jimmy could not stay, oeilvert could not have free time but some hours
from his employer, so I had to keep the boot with only my wife. She is
not a computer addict at all and could make usefull work in the
translation room, with the net result that I was often alone on the boot.
I could however visit when my wife or oeilvert could make me free, and
like this I could get a free internet certificate and meet many other
opensource actors. Some I already know (at least from the net), and
other I didn't yet. Very interesting
I could also make many demos. I had some free copies of a french
computer news paper with an article about Susestudio, and this is
really a winner on the OEM market (I could build an appliance right on
the way).
I could also show that I run on my netbook the Factory release and
this is pretty impressive.
As soon as I get back my dsl line, I will be able to post photos and
videos of the meeting.
Beleive it or not I could meet on my on table a Kde french translator
that is from my own town :-).
Of course I could also meet Vincent (Untz), that provided me with
Gnome DVD.
I could spread 50-80 dvd a day and when I was obliged to leave, I let
the table full of openSUSE and Gnome DVD's
We should try to be at least two on the next time, to ba able to have
a boot *and* go round speak with people.
I had some openSUSE T-Shirts to give as a gift and did this on what I
hope to be a wise way: I gave them to people that appears to be
openSUSE fans on other boots (that is not only visitors, but groups
members), including a Debian member that asked for one saying he will
wear it :-)
I noticed two things that many people asked for: caps and summary poster.
The summary poster (back of the 11.4 poster) was very appreciated (but
may be a bit large), like was the Fedora cheat cube.
I had two caps for me and my wife, thanks to Jimmy Pierre, but only
two and didn't want to give them away :-). They are from the Novell
beginning, pretty difficult to find.
May be it could be cheaper to spread caps than T-shirts (and they are
visible from a more remote position :-).
Thanks to Vincent we had also very small stickers, very good to stick
on small netbooks
I end with thanks for oeilvert that hosted me for 5 days!
jdd
NB: Ubuntu had a small T-shirt specially fitted for girls, we shoulod
defintively have some (photo to come)
